You can change the default LAN IP address and Net Mask to suit the IP address arrangement you want to set up for your LAN. Click the LAN hyperlink view the LAN Configuration menu. This menu can also be accessed from the Routing or Bridging folders. Figure 7.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide DHCP Service Modes DHCP services can be employed in one of three different ways; it can provide DHCP services, it can receive DHCP services or it can relay DHCP service. By default the device is configured to act as a DHCP server on the Ethernet LAN. In this case it will supply IP settings to hosts that are configured to receive IP settings from a DHCP server. The device may also be configured to relay IP settings from your ISP’s DHCP server.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide WAN Configuration Options If you are using the Router with two or more virtual connections (VC) one way to configure the additional connections is by using the WAN folder menus. You can use the ATM VC configuration menu to first create the additional VC. You may then need to create or modify a WAN interface using the PPP or IPoA configuration menus.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide Figure 10. ATM VCC – Add (or Modify) Parameters To Add or Modify AAL5 Parameters define the following: VCC Interface The name of the lower-level interface on which this VC operates. The lowlevel interface names are pre-configured in the software and identify the type of traffic that can be supported, such as data or voice. Internet data services typically use an AAL5-type interface.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide PPP Configuration PPP is configured as a group of software settings associated with the ADSL port. Although the device has only one physical ADSL port, the Router can be defined with more than one group of PPP settings. Each group of settings is called a PPP interface and is given a name, such as ppp-0, ppp-1, etc. Figure 11.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide The PPP Configuration table displays the following fields: PPP Interface The PPP interface you are configuring. ATM VC The Virtual Circuit over which this PPP data is sent. The VC identifies the physical path the data takes to reach your ISP. The type of Firewall protections that are in effect on the interface. A public interface connects to the Internet (PPP interfaces are typically public).
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide IpoA Configuration The IPoA table contains a row for each EOA interface currently defined on the device. The table may initially contain no entries. Figure 13. IPoA Configuration The IPoA Configuration table displays the following fields: IPoA Interface The IPoA interface you are configuring. Conf. IP Address The IP address you want to assign to the interface. The type of Firewall protections that are in effect on the interface.

DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide EOA Configuration Ethernet-over-ATM (EOA) is a commonly used protocol for data transfer between Ethernet LANs and wide area networks that use the ATM protocol. Telecommunications industry networks often use the ATM in the within the their primary infrastructure or backbone. Network service providers that sell DSL services often use the EOA protocol for data transfer with their customers’ DSL Routers.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide Figure 16. EOA Interface – Modify To Add or Modify AAL5 Parameters define the following: EOA Interface Conf. IP Address: Net Mask: Use DHCP: This is used (by the Router) to identify the EOA interface. If you are adding a new EOA interface, choose the EOA set you want to define from the pull-down menu (Add menu only). The IP address assigned to the interface. If the interface will be used as a simple bridge to your ISP, then you do not need to specify IP information.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide Bridge Configuration The Router can be configured to act as a bridging device between your LAN and your ISP. Bridges are devices that enable two or more networks to communicate as if they are two segments of the same physical LAN. This section describes how to configure the Router to operate as a bridge.

DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide Routing Configuration Links to the IP Route and IP Address tables are found within the Routing folder. The remaining links are duplicate links to menus that have been previously described. IP Route IP Routes are used to define gateways and hops used to route data traffic. Most users will not need to use this feature as the previously configured default gateway and LAN IP settings on your host computers should be sufficient.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide Adding IP Routes To add an IP route to the device's routing table, follow these steps: 1. Click the Add button to display the IP Route – Add menu. 2. Type in the destination, network mask, and gateway or next hop for this route. To create a route that defines the device's default gateway, enter 0.0.0.0 in both the Destination and Net Mask fields. Enter your ISP's IP address in the Gateway/NextHop field. 3. Click the Submit button.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide NAT Network Address Translation is a method for disguising the private IP addresses you use on your LAN as the public IP address you use on the Internet. You define NAT rules that specify exactly how and when to translate between public and private IP addresses. NAT is enabled by default. You can enable or disable NAT by selecting the Enable or Disable option in the configuration menu and submitting the settings. Figure 20.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide Enter information appropriate to the NAT flavor. The information in the various menus is summarized in the table below. Rule ID IF Name Protocol Local Address From Local Address To Global Address From The Rule ID determines the order in which rules are invoked (the lowest numbered rule is invoked first, and so on). In some cases, two or more rules may be defined to act on the same set of IP addresses.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide RIP RIP is an Internet protocol you can set up to share routing table information with other routing devices on your LAN, at your ISP's location, or on remote networks connected to your network via the ADSL line. Figure 22. RIP Configuration Most small home or office networks do not need to use RIP; they have only one router and one path to an ISP. In these cases, there is no need to share routes, because all routes from the network go to the same ISP gateway.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide 5. Select a Send Mode and a Receive Mode. The Send Mode setting indicates the RIP version this interface will use when it sends its route information to other devices. The Receive Mode setting indicates the RIP version(s) in which information must be passed to the Router in order for it to be accepted into its routing table. RIP version 1 is the original RIP protocol. Select RIP1 if you have devices that communicate with this interface that understand RIP version 1 only.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide Follow these instructions to configure global firewall settings: Configure any of the following settings that display in the Firewall Global Information table: Black List Status: If you want the device to maintain and use a black list, click Enable. Click Disable if you do not want to maintain a list. Black List Period(min): Specifies the number of minutes that a computer's IP address will remain on the black list (i.e.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide Host IP Address: The IP address of the computer that sent the packet(s) that caused the violation Reason: A short description of the type of violation. If the packet violated an IP Filter rule, the custom text from the Log Tag field will display. IPF Rule ID: If the packet violated an IP Filter rule, this field will display the ID assigned to the rule.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide • A private interface connects to your LAN, such as the Ethernet interface. Packets received on a private interface are subject to a less restrictive set of protections, because they originate within the network. Typically, the global setting for private interfaces is Accept, so that LAN computers have access to the Routers' Internet connection.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide Interface: The interface on the device on which the rule will take effect. In Interface: The interface from which packets must have been forwarded to the interface specified in the previous selection. This option is valid only on rules defined for the outgoing direction. Log Option: When Enabled is selected, a log entry will be created on the system each time this rule is invoked.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide TCP Flag: Specifies whether the rule should apply only to TCP packets that contain the synchronous (SYN) flag, only to those that contain the non-synchronous (NOT-SYN) flag, or to all TCP packets. This field will be dimmed (unavailable for entry) unless you selected TCP as the protocol. ICMP Type: Specifies whether the value in the type field in ICMP packet headers will be used as a criteria. The code value can be any decimal value from 0-255.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide DNS Multiple DNS addresses are useful to provide alternatives when one of the servers is down or is encountering heavy traffic. ISPs typically provide primary and secondary DNS addresses, and may provide additional addresses. Figure 26. DNS Configuration Your LAN PCs learn these DNS addresses in one of the following ways: • Statically: If your ISP provides you with their DNS server addresses, you can assign the addresses to each PC by modifying the PCs' IP properties.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide Follow these steps to configure DNS relay: 1. Configure the LAN PCs to use the Router's LAN IP address as their DNS server address -- by assigning the LAN IP address statically to each PC, or by inputting the LAN IP address or the address 0.0.0.0 as the DNS address in a DHCP server pool. 2. If using a PPP connection to the ISP, configure it to "Use DNS" so that the DNS server addresses it learns are used for DNS relay.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide Blocked Protocols The Router is capable of sending and receiving information in a variety of protocol formats. The Blocked Protocols feature enables you to prevent the Router from passing any data that uses a particular protocol. Unlike the IP Filter feature, you cannot specify additional criteria for blocked protocols, such as particular users or destinations.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide • IPV6 Multicast: IP Multicasting under IP Protocol version 6. See IP Multicast above. • 802.1.Q: This IEEE specification defines a protocol for virtual LANs on Ethernet networks. A virtual LAN is a group of PCs that function as a local area network, even though the PCs may not be physically connected. They are commonly used to facilitate administration of large networks.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide Commit & Reboot Whenever you use the Web Configuration Manager to change system settings, the changes are initially placed in temporary storage (called random access memory or RAM). Your changes are made effective when you submit them, but will be lost if the device is reset or turned off. To save your changes for future use, you can use the commit function. This function saves your changes from RAM to permanent storage (called flash memory).
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide Reboot Options Select the reboot option from the pull-down menu. The options are a described here: Reboot A simple reboot. This will put into effect any configuration changes that have been successfully committed to flash memory. Reboot From Last Configuration This will reboot the device using the current settings in permanent memory, including any changes you just committed.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide Diagnostics The diagnostics feature executes a series of test of your system software and hardware connections. Use this feature when working with your ISP to troubleshoot problems. Figure 31. Diagnostics Window Select the Virtual Circuit and click the Submit button. A message will appear informing you if the loop test succeeded or failed. The diagnostics utility will run a series of test to check whether the device's connections are up and working.
DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide Alarms The Configuration Manager can be used to view alarms that occur in the system. Alarms, also called traps, are caused by a variety of system events, including connection attempts, resets, and configuration changes. Although you will not typically need to view this information, it may be helpful in working with your ISP to troubleshoot problems you encounter with the device. (Despite their name, not all alarms indicate problems in the functioning of the system.
